• Watering: During the first year after planting, provide regular watering to establish a strong root system. Once established, the tree is relatively drought-tolerant and requires watering during extended dry periods.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed for Sorbus Joseph Rock. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches during the dormant season to maintain a healthy and tidy appearance.
